Easley needed new cards to send out with orders of prints from his store, so he decided to go with MOO mini cards and designed a series of 40 buildings that connect together. The idea is that every time you receive a new one you can add to your city, and even colour them in if you so desire.

Lightbulb moment

"I've been thinking of doing some illustrations of little buildings for a while," he explains. "Then a little light went off in my head to do them as mini cards that join together, since I need cards to put in with parcels. So I did a load of buildings and made little cards and a print.

"I set up a grid to work from in Illustrator to keep everything uniform, and then just started drawing buildings, or other things I liked and made them into monuments instead, or drew windows and doors in them.

"I had to keep the ones on the cards less detailed because I didn't want anything to get chopped off at the edges, but went to town a bit on the print because I had more space."
